At Woofus, we love to see dogs on the go! The Pet Industries LED collar is a modern dog accessory for any pet who travels with you after dark, whether it’s a short walk or a long vacation. Light up the night with a long, safe walk with your woofus using a high tech, LED lighted collar. They come in a variety of tempting colors to suit even the most discerning canine taste.

Have you ever walked your dogs at night and worried that they can’t be seen or noticed by others around you?

Cars driving by might get just a little too close for comfort.

Cyclists share the road with cars and pedestrians and need to see your dog to avoid a collision with your pet

Your pet could get stepped on and seriously injured, especially in crowded areas.

People who are walking near you could be startled by your dog, harm themselves, or scare him.

If your dog gets loose, how the heck are you going to see him to find him in the dark of night?

Pet Industries LED dog collars are the perfect solution to these safety issues!

With the beautiful colored light emanating from this collar, your dog is clearly and easily seen at night. Walk with confidence knowing your dog is in clear view for all to see, including you! The collars are a must have on walks after dark. They also come in handy when your dog is out at night in your yard. You can always tell where your dog has wandered, by the pretty, vibrant LED light around his neck.

When you smell a skunk in the area, you want to find your dog and bring him in pronto! With an LED collar on, your dog can’t play hide and seek with you when it’s time to come in. Find him fast and bring him inside to safety.

We went camping in New Hampshire and had the dogs on long leads tied up to a tree at our site. It gets very dark there at night in the woods. As we sat by the light of the campfire, we could see clearly where each dog was located in the dark, and watch every movement they made, with their light up collars on. It was one less thing to think about, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves on vacation.

There are numerous, attractive color choices. We choose Blue for Fiona, Orange for Lobo and Rainbow for Secret (she just has to be different). We felt it made sense to have a different color for each one, so we could tell the dogs apart at night. We found that our fellow campers liked the different colors, too – we could hear the kids say eagerly, “oh, here comes Lobo – he’s orange, and there’s Fiona, she’s blue – oh and here comes Secret, she’s the rainbow one!” It was pretty cute.

At crowded nighttime outside events, dogs walk below a human’s line of sight. They can easily be stepped on or tripped over, leading to great bodily harm for both dog and human. Small dogs in particular can be seriously hurt. The light up collar helps avoid such accidents by ensuring your dog is easily visible to all around him.

We walked to our local parish fair, about a twenty-minute walk each way, and the road we take is not well lit in some parts. With their lighted collars on, our minds were at ease because the dogs were clearly seen by cars and any passers by during our journey. We also could see exactly where they were at the end of the lead and knew immediately if any dog stepped outside what we considered a safe pathway.

There are three simple, easy to change settings to control the LED light on the dog’s collar – one click: solid light on, two clicks: blinking light on, three clicks: light off. They are changed with a mere click of a button; the button is cleverly and elegantly hidden inside the collar, yet still easily accessible while your dog is wearing it if you want to change the setting.

Just what does LED mean and why is it an important difference? LED lights are modern, high tech, “light emitting diodes.” They are small, long lasting, durable and extremely energy efficient lights. They also operate well in extreme heat and extreme cold. Hello, snow dogs?! We’ll put this to the test this winter!!

I remember one time when my digital camera literally froze and never worked again, on a snowy day at the dog park (Okay, it was a blizzard, and we were the only ones there. Crazy husky pet parents? Yes, ahem, guilty as charged). This collar should have no trouble lighting up when it’s cold and snowy out, or hot and steamy for that matter.

The collars are USB rechargeable and come with a charging cord you can plug into any convenient USB adapter. The charge lasts a long time – we charged ours once and haven’t had to recharge yet, after numerous uses. That’s the main benefit of LED lights – they last a long time. The charging port, like the on / off button, is neatly hidden inside the collar.

These collars are durable and well made, for long lasting use. The collars snap closed securely with a solid metal locking clip. They are available in several different sizes to accommodate dogs from very small to very large. Each size is of course adjustable as well.
